Meet the Artist
The journey to glass blower feels like magic/alchemy/serendipity to me. I taught middle school science for 8 years, and then left teaching burned out and disappointed.
Along the way I found the North Carolina Glass center in Asheville, NC. I took one class, and immediately became hooked. I continue to learn, and am grateful to be in Western NC.
I’ve studied at Penland School of Craft, Pilchuck, and Corning.
My husband and I built my shop in 2019, receiving power hook up right before the lock down. I’ve been very fortunate to continue working, and to build a cold shop as well. My husband graciously learned to assist and blow glass with me.
I am inspired by nature, travel, and bright colors. I like to make functional pieces to use every day.
I never saw this journey on my radar, and yet here I am. It’s part of me, and I am proud to be a female glass blower with my own studio. Keep creating. Keep taking chances. You never know where it will lead.
